Upgrading the VHT "WATTS" Circuit
#3
I've also worked on some of these VHT amps and they do leave something to be desired. Installing the SV2 will be a big improvement over the way the "scaling" is implemented now without a current limiter.

Occasionally, what I've done on amps that I can fit a fan in, or the player won't accept one is to mount the mosfets in a diecast aluminum box attached by an umbilical cord like some old organs and other tube equipment that had multiple chassis used to have. Since the box mounted on the bottom the heat rises out of it and hopefully if the combo is large enough it won't be affected by the heat of the tubes.
